Miguel Díaz-Canel, President of Cuba, reaffirmed today in X the serious situation of the National Electric System (SEN in the Spanish acronym). Stressing that although it’s recovery will take time. They are working hard and they will achieve it.
Díaz-Canel acknowledged the challenges derived from the lack of access to essential resources. Aggravated by the restrictions imposed by the US economic, commercial and financial blockade.
The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba alluded to the statements issued on Wednesday by Alfredo López, general director of the Electrical Union (UNE), on the complex situation of the SEN.
The president reposted a publication by Vicente de la O Levy, Minister of Energy and Mines. Who referred to the work being carried out to reduce the number of blackout hours in the country.
According to De la O Levy, at this moment they are doing maintenance in five units. Based on the level of resources available.
We continue recovering distributed generation and adding 100 percent Cuban megawatts. With Energas generation and photovoltaic parks, he said.
Executives of the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the UNE updated this Wednesday in a transmission of the usual Round Table space on the energy situation in Cuba.
The general director of UNE said that the situation is serious, very difficult, with long hours of blackouts and difficulties to rotate the circuits. Which complicates the life of the population.
However, he stressed that work is being done to reverse the situation: “We are working on six units of the national electric system. Which would imply more than 500 MW”.
In the program, they reiterated the commitment to continue applying technical and strategic solutions. To guarantee the progressive recovery of the SEN and minimize the effects on the population.
